A Forest - Edit
This beautiful place is fully vegan so I’ll give it 5* once updated. I don’t know this has been overlooked on Happy Cow. A homely vegan paradise in my opinion

Brilliant bakery - Edit
Briilliant little vegan bakery, with incredible vegan pastries. We picked up a chestnut, mushroom sausig roll, rainbow chard pizza roll, pain au raisin, and a pain au suisse for the long journey home north. All our pastries were absolutely delicious.

Lush pastries - Edit
10 out of 10 for the pastries we tried but sadly lacklustre service, not asked if we were taking away or eating in (our first visit) and given tiny hot drinks and cakes in bags yet the next customers got huge mugs of hot drinks and cakes on plates. I'd go again if was in the area ahain of course!

Some of the best pastries - Edit
A cute little bakery offering an amazing selection of all vegan pastries and breads! I enjoyed a forest bun and latte to eat on their outside benches. I did also get a pain suisse to go. The pastry was amazing, beautifully layered and crispy - highly recommended stop and good sized!

Cute coffee with great pastries & coffee - Edit
Such a lovely little bakery, hidden near the temple meads station. They’ve got tasty pastries, coffee and other drinks, focaccia, sourdough breads and some artisinal gifts too. Only some seating outside but luckily it was not cold that day!

Vegan bakery heaven! - Edit
I wish everywhere was like this where you are spoilt for choice rather than being stuck with whatever the vegan option is.
Read moreSweet and savoury pastries, breads and foccacia on offer. Pastries are a generous size and a reasonable price. I will pop in every time I'm passing and am looking forward to trying everything on the menu. Highly recommend!
The interior is very small but there is outdoor seating.

Excellent pastries - Edit
I was walking past when I saw a sign outside that advertised cakes and pastries. I went inside expected one or two vegan options and was very surprised when the employee told me it was an entirely vegan bakery. They sell mostly to other cafes in the area, it will sell to passers by if they’re open when you walk by. The pistachio swirl was excellent!
